What We Do
BlueRock delivers the first Compute Firewall, revolutionizing runtime security in an era of AI-speed cyberattacks and escalating third-party software risks.
Traditional security tools and agents can't keep pace, leaving enforcement gaps exposed. Attackers now exploit vulnerabilities within minutes of disclosure, outpacing reactive detection methods.
BlueRock solves this by embedding real-time, preemptive enforcement directly into the compute layer, halting exploits precisely where they execute—before detection tools even trigger alerts. Unlike noisy, complex, and fragile agent-based solutions, BlueRock's Compute Firewall integrates seamlessly into the cloud image distributions you already use, requiring no code changes or application slowdowns.
Developers can concentrate on innovation instead of emergency patches, while security teams gain real-time enforcement, drastically reducing runtime risk.
Break free from the Dev versus Security trade-off. BlueRock enables both teams to thrive—accelerating business agility while delivering proactive, robust security.
Founded by cybersecurity pioneers Ashar Aziz (Founder/CEO of FireEye) and Bob Tinker (Founder/CEO of MobileIron), BlueRock bridges the longstanding divide between development velocity and security requirements.
